Column: Preckwinkle mum on township supervisor salary, Dolton mayoral recall vote – Daily Southtown*

"Dolton residents and trustees say they simply want accountability for the public funds that (Dolton Mayor and Thornton Township Supervisor Tiffany) Henyard appears to spend without authorization. During the most recent village board meeting, Trustee Kiana Belcher held up a copy of a canceled check for $561,000 that she said Henyard signed by herself...I’m disappointed with (Cook County Board President Toni) Preckwinkle because when she sat next to Henyard at the town hall, she sent a message that everything was fine. The Dolton mayor’s disregard for transparency and accountability were OK in her book, Preckwinkle seemed to say."

Why does it seem like federal authorities are the only law enforcement officials who care about corruption in Illinois?”

Well, because it’s true, that’s why. Turning a blind eye to fraud and waste so that you’ve got money to dole out for patronage and votes is how Illinois “works.”
